Corporate paella catering in Brown Candover

The process

Here’s how the day typically runs: we set up the pans and start the sofrito, your guests watch the rice cook, and we serve straight from the pan when you are ready to eat. In Brown Candover, a summer staff party stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need lit cooking and serving areas.

  1. First, we check date and venue.
  2. You choose paellas, canapés and extras.
  3. We send any documents your venue needs.
  4. The paella cooks as your team gathers.
  5. It’s served quickly, then we pack down.

Getting ready for the day

  • Share the running order, including any speeches
  • Confirm the venue is happy with live cooking
  • Make sure we can park close by to unload
